It's been since February

I haven't been on my blog for a long time!!  Well, I have a job and it's been hard to make time for other things.  I am going to do my best to list things here and there. Wish me luck!

3-Ingredient CCC Dough Ice-Cream

What does CCC stand for??? Chocolate Chip Cookie of course! Since the Just Mayo company came out with Just Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, this was my chance to eat it raw and make my 3-Ingredient CCC Dessert.  It's very simple. There's a little prep work but nothing that can't be done in a few minutes. 


3-Ingredient CCC Dough Ice-Cream

1 large banana 
1/4 c. of soy milk/creamer or another non-dairy milk
4 TBSP.  Just Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough divided

-Line a plate or little baking sheet with wax paper. Take 2 TBSP. of the cookie dough and  make marble size balls.  Lay on prepared pan and put in freezer for at least 1 hr.

-Peel, slice and freeze the banana.

-In a high speed blender, add the remaining 2 TBSP. of cookie dough, non-dairy milk and the frozen banana. 

-Run until all blended.

-Remove from blender and put into your serving bowl. If it's a little runny, you can add more frozen banana slices or just put in freezer for approx. 15 minutes or until thick.

-Stir in the remaining frozen cookie dough balls. 

Enjoy!

New Item...Just Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip

The brand of Just Mayo came out with a new product called Just Cookie Dough Chocolate Chip! I found my container at Super Target in the cooler section sitting by Earth Balance.  You can eat it raw or bake it up! Of course I been eating it raw and thinking of what else to do with it! (I will get to that my next post) This is egg-free, dairy-free and no artifical colors or flavors.  I highly recommend trying this product!

Happy New Year!!!

Chickpea Meringue

When I cooked a bag of chickpeas in my crock pot, I saved the chickpeas water/liquid. So I decided to take the liquid and whip it up like I have been seeing on the internet. It's airy like meringue. Still making adjustments but not bad!

It's sooo hot!

It is very hot today in the neighborhood!  96 degrees and very sunny! So my appetite is very light. I am satisfied with cool cucumber slices topped with hummus and a tomato slice!

Home Picked Strawberries

I have been getting about a handful of strawberries from my yard about every other day! I made scones already. Hmmm What else should I make??

'What's for dinner?'

How you ever thought to yourself 'Whats for dinner?'  Sometimes you can just throw stuff together like I done here! Broccoli, celery, carrots, onions, red bell peppers and collard greens! Stir-fry style!  You may also throw in some quinoa, rice or beans!
